A simple, vibrant<br />

and real story<br />

1895: the 20th century, which is recently behind us, had<br />

not yet begun when Jules-Henri Caillet, master saddler<br />

in Aubonne, was already producing mattresses which<br />

were highly reputed throughout the region.<br />

A shrewd entrepreneur, he aimed at adapting<br />

progress, a key word of the Ancients,<br />

to his business. For him, as for the following<br />

generations, progress was an integral part<br />

of the production of a good mattress comprising<br />

traditional craftsmanship and inevitable<br />

mechanisation as well as constant quality<br />

research, the highest standard of natural raw<br />

materials and passion for work well done.<br />

And thus ELITE bedding and mattresses bring<br />

together, today as in the past, the savoir-faire<br />

of the craftsman and the quality of natural supporting<br />

materials which are rigorously selected.<br />

At ELITE, we are still faithful to this method of production which dates<br />

from over a century ago. And on the original site, our methods<br />

continually evolve with each generation that passes. Together<br />

with the master-craftsman, we have moved from a life expectancy<br />

of 44 years to double in our time thanks to progress in hygiene<br />

in general and progress in bedding in particular.<br />

The advantage offered by a more than century old enterprise<br />

is that respect for tradition is, within each generation, combined<br />

with constant research to try to surpass the generation before<br />

and thus produce goods of which the client is the prime benefi ciary.<br />

At ELITE, tradition and technique come together to produce<br />

the leitmotif of a simple, vibrant and true story.

Far in the past<br />

The master-craftsman of your sleep<br />

From the straw bed of Job to King Solomon’s couch, and the Lebanese cedar bed which encompassed<br />

the fi ancés of the Song of Songs, the mattress has been associated with sleep. “Blessed be he who<br />

invented sleep!” exclaimed Don Quixote.<br />

Etymologically, the Arab word “matrah” preceded the “materasso” of the Italian Renaissance.<br />

Historically, the Gaulois are considered to be the inventors of a simple mattress which was progressively<br />

to become more comfortable with the inclusion of horse-hair and wool and later, with the addition<br />

of bedding with straps.<br />

The ELITE master-craftsman knows his history well and the lessons which are to be learnt. He knows<br />

that at this beginning of the 21st century in which new technologies succeed each other at a dizzying<br />

pace, the secret of good bedding lies in the choice of natural materials assembled with rigorous order<br />

and crafted by hand. Of all the good things which can be shared on this earth, sleep remains<br />

a personal affair which entails an individual approach.<br />

A good night’s sleep starts in the master-craftsman’s workshop.<br />

According to a process passed down by tradition, bedding professionals<br />

prepare and assemble the natural raw materials to achieve ultimately<br />

a product of the highest quality.<br />

Here, with the addition of our savoir-faire, your hand-made bedding,<br />

each one a unique article, is created with the care of a mastercraftsman.<br />

Such are the distinctive signs of ELITE bedding…


Your well-being…<br />

What is the ideal bedding system?<br />

A distinguishing feature of the human species, the standing position, has had as<br />

its corollary an “s”-shaped body-back conformation. This standing position,<br />

perfectly adapted for vertical movement, can unfortunately lead to painful physical<br />

conditions such as dorsalgia, lumbar pain, lumbar osteo-arthritis and discal hernia.<br />

To avoid these conditions it is of fundamental importance to use bedding which<br />

allows the spinal column to maintain, even while horizontal, an identical position<br />

to that of when standing.<br />

What are the possible negative effects of an incorrect sleeping position?<br />

• Painful conditions resulting from intervertebral disk pressure on nerves<br />

in the spinal column;<br />

• prevention of muscular relaxation caused by the body’s constant search<br />

for a good sleeping position;<br />

• undue pressure placed on the vascular lymphatic system at body-mattress<br />

contact points.<br />

Bedding too soft: leads to muscle stiffness as the body tries in vain to fi nd<br />

an adequate position for the spinal column.<br />

Bedding too rigid: leads to undue pressure on the lymphatic system at body-mattress<br />

contact points and forces the spinal column to adopt an incorrect sleeping position.<br />

Ideal bedding: by adapting to each section of the body in an elongated position,<br />

both an ideal orthopedic position and a relaxation of the vascular lymphatic<br />

system are achieved.<br />

Being unable to achieve total relaxation while asleep can seriously hinder a person<br />

to reach the various deep-sleep phases (paradoxal sleep) and can provoke<br />

physiological problems, psycho-physiological stress, a feeling of acute fatigue and<br />

low reaction levels. Anatomical adaptation and the sleeping position are the<br />

principal elements to be taken into consideration when creating the ideal bedding<br />

– to achieve high quality sleep, and thus by defi nition, a better quality of life.<br />

A person’s morphology, ectomorph, mesomorph, overweight, slim, and the various<br />

positions adopted during sleep (mainly fœtal position, on the back and on the<br />

side ) determine the distribution of body weight in a sleeping position. These<br />

various elements in themselves suggest that normal or standard bedding is often<br />

inadequate and can even have negative effects on the body.<br />

There is a considerable difference between people of tall or average height,<br />

between a sumo wrestler or the sinuous body of a ballerina. Offering standard<br />

solutions for these different kinds of person can often lead to mattresses where<br />

the load bearing zones do not concord with a person’s anatomy.<br />

These various considerations explain the new objectives taken into account by<br />

ELITE to guarantee each client total bedding comfort.<br />

Good quality bedding must offer the following features:<br />

• correct spinal column support from the orthopedique point of view<br />

• relaxed muscular system<br />

• facilitate blood circulation to enable cellular regeneration<br />

• maintain a correct body temperature<br />

• excellent hygiene<br />

• to counter in one night the day’s accumulation of tension<br />

• be comfortable and provide total body support.<br />

Sleep well to live well…<br />

As we have seen, good bedding can provide that additional extra for a good night’s sleep. Simply<br />

stated, if we are going to spend at least a third of our lives asleep, we should choose a good mattress –<br />

an essential component to good sleeping.<br />

There are a few golden rules for choosing a good mattress. To start with, height-body mass ratio which<br />

defi nes the weight per square centimetre – the higher this is, the fi rmer the mattress should be.<br />

The chart below will help you determine this factor: �<br />

< 1.50 m<br />

1.51m - 1.60m<br />

1.61m - 1.70m<br />

1.71m - 1.80m<br />

1.81m - 1.90m<br />

1.91m - 2.00m<br />

> 2.00 m<br />

< 50 kg<br />

Weight<br />

51-60 kg 61-70 kg 71-80 kg 81-90 kg 91-100 kg > 100 kg<br />

Comfort Medium Firm<br />

If you sleep in a side position, a less-rigid multi-zone mattress should be<br />

chosen to limit the pressure in the shoulder and pelvis areas.<br />

This facilitates blood circulation and thus aids cellular regeneration.<br />

If you sleep on your back and have a pronounced back arch then you<br />

should choose a mattress which permits your back to sink into it thus<br />

ensuring for correctly supported back bones.<br />

A person’s age is another element of importance. When young,<br />

a person can adapt to a hard mattress but with age and a greater need<br />

for comfort, a person prefers softer or medium support.<br />

At ELITE, the wide choice of mattresses, our experience and savoir-faire<br />

helps us fi nd the mattress which is the most appropriate for your body<br />

type and sleeping habits.<br />

If your partner’s body type is considerably different from yours,<br />

choosing the most suitable mattress is of course diffi cult. At ELITE,<br />

diffi cult, but not impossible if you choose our “ELLE et LUI”<br />

made-to-measure, multi-zone option on the same mattress.<br />

Perfect harmony and yet sleeping independence : the keys to a good<br />

night’s sleep!<br />

Our individual-based research has naturally led us to adapt<br />

our considerable experience to the latest technological research.<br />

The “rhumaless” system enables real-time on-screen visualisation<br />

of the various body pressure points when you are in your favourite<br />

sleep position. Science and experience come together to enable you<br />

to choose the best mattress.<br />

These images show you which bedding is the most appropriate<br />

and the one which should be avoided.


The colder (green-blue) colours show a mattress correctly adapted to the various<br />

pressure zones, while the warmer (red) colours in the diagram on the right show<br />

incorrectly adapted pressure points.<br />

Using the same technology, the images below, of a lateral sleeping position,<br />

show that the mattress on the left is more suitable than the one on the right.<br />

Your bed… a friend that wishes you well…<br />

If you belong to that growing category of people who fi nd it hard to sleep well<br />

you might be tempted to look for the cause elsewhere… and yet the answer could<br />

well be in your mattress.<br />

A wide-scale survey showed that the average human being slept 7 hours<br />

and 6 minutes per night.<br />

Another European-based survey suggested that half of those asked said that<br />

they changed their mattresses every 10 years. Bedding experts however show that<br />

this is in fact every 13 rather than 10 years.<br />

Research carries out by a neurologist at the University Hospital of Montpellier<br />

suggests that a person will gain an additional 53 minutes of deep sleep in a new<br />

mattress.<br />

Thus, as we have already mentioned : good bedding has an essential role<br />

in achieving quality sleep and thus better overall health!<br />

Some advice for a good night’s sleep<br />

We have all heard of people around us complaining of a bad night’s sleep and early<br />

morning back pains. And yet a better-adapted mattress could alleviate these<br />

symptoms. The golden rule: a quality mattress leads to quality sleep, adapting to zones<br />

exerting the most pressure – the shoulder and pelvis areas and supporting the total<br />

length of the body.<br />

It is an old wive’s tale that a good mattress must be hard, or… soft. The following<br />

diagrams illustrate examples of this:<br />

INADEQUATE BEDDING<br />

A bed which is too soft does not support the spinal column correctly. The heaviest<br />

parts of the body such as the thorax and pelvis sink into the mattress resulting<br />

in discomfort. As the bed is inadequately adapted to the body, muscles and column<br />

contract and cannot relax.<br />

INADEQUATE BEDDING<br />

Too soft mattress,<br />

wrong spine positioning<br />

Too fi rm mattress,<br />

wrong spine positioning<br />

Beware of mattresses which are too rigid!<br />

Different mattress types play an important role in back problems. When these occur<br />

the patient is often told to use a harder mattress when in fact a less rigid one would<br />

perhaps solve the problem.<br />

A rigid mattress cannot adapt itself to the weight of the thorax and pelvis areas.<br />

The other parts of the body and the muscles are unable to relax during sleep.<br />

The thorax and pelvis are compressed thus leading to ineffi cient blood circulation<br />

and incorrect spinal support during the night.<br />

CORRECT BEDDING<br />

Correct mattress,<br />

perfect spine positioning<br />

The best possible solution must be found in terms of your height, your body type,<br />

your weight and above all your personal preferences. A person who weights<br />

45 kilogrammes clearly cannot need the same mattress as a person who weights<br />

120 kilogrammes. The diagram below shows the ideal mattress which adapts<br />

to the body and supports the various pressure zones.


The best natural materials…<br />

to provide sleep fi t for a king<br />

As opposed to bigger producers who are often limited in their choice of materials by economic<br />

considerations, our status as craftsmen gives us the freedom to choose the best raw materials<br />

and the most natural and healthy for your well-being.<br />

Since the time of our founder, Jules-Henri Caillet, the freedom of being able to choose<br />

the best product after a vigorous procedure of selection is one of the distinguishing features<br />

of the “craftsman of your sleep”. Better than anyone, he knows how to assemble these natural<br />

materials to create your quality bedding.<br />

Wool<br />

The most noble of natural materials, the virgin wool chosen by ELITE comes from the Merino breed<br />

and from the Ile de France, both bred in the open air throughout the year.<br />

These two breeds produce a high quality wool, with scales overlapping like shingles on a roof<br />

and an excellent crimp of great fi nesse.<br />

Over the years, experience has taught us that this keratin-based natural fi bre is an essential component<br />

for the production of a good mattress as it possesses numerous properties.<br />

Firstly, by its structure, wool presents an excellent resistance to twisting and pulling while offering<br />

good elasticity. Also, its crimp which keeps in a great quantity of air, increases thermic protection both<br />

from the heat and from the cold. With this unique quality of thermic regulation, wool offers<br />

a welcome, natural comfort.<br />

Another important quality of wool is its great hygroscopic capacity . It is not a well-known fact that<br />

wool can absorb water to one third of its weight without producing a feeling of humidity. At the same<br />

time as keeping the body dry, it can absorb damp and odours. With these “breathing” qualities,<br />

wool can release humidity and its accompanying odours easily and rapidly.<br />

This characteristic of wool is particularly interesting when one realises<br />

that the body releases 0.5 litres of water each night.<br />

Another less well known property of virgin wool is its highly effi cient<br />

capacity to replace positive ions by negative ones which are natural<br />

and favourable to the human body.<br />

In the same way it has the ability to isolate the body from static<br />

electricity. Wool also aids in the prevention of problems which cause<br />

bad sleep and of those which can result in rheumatism.<br />

On top of this long list of wool’s qualities is the fact that it has a low<br />

degree of infl ammability and is 100% bio-degradable.<br />

So why go without wool?<br />

Cashmere<br />

It is on the high Himalayan plateau at an average altitude of 4’000 metres that the Pashmina<br />

goat which has made the name of cashmere famous throughout the world can be found.<br />

This long and silky wool doubled by a tight duvet protecting the goats from glacial winds and<br />

temperatures of between -30˚C to -40˚C is used at ELITE principally for the winter side of our<br />

mattresses.<br />

During sleep cashmere produces a feeling of comfort, softness and warmth.<br />

Tussah silk<br />

Silk is most certainly the most precious of those natural<br />

materials which are used in the creation of a mattress.<br />

A list of its natural qualities speaks for itself.<br />

The Tussah silk used at ELITE is spun from silk worms<br />

living in the wild in India, China and Japan.<br />

The combination of these different silks creates a<br />

material which is both sensual and luxurious.<br />

Among its many qualities, silk has hygroscopic<br />

and thermo-regulatory properties which allows it<br />

to absorb up to 30% of its own weight without<br />

producing a feeling of humidity and at the same time<br />

dispersing heat and creating a resulting freshness.<br />

Pure horse-hair<br />

After a vigorous washing and disinfection process the horse-hair<br />

is steam-heated and then dried. This treatment gives it its permanent<br />

spiral form.<br />

Thanks to this spiral form, horse-hair padding gives a mattress<br />

additional softness and elasticity. People who sleep mainly<br />

on their sides will appreciate these qualities above all at the shoulder<br />

and hip pressure zones.<br />

Horse-hair also has excellent ventilation properties thus guaranteeing<br />

a feeling of well-being.<br />

Horse-hair’s hygroscopic<br />

characteristic enables it<br />

to absorb and neutralise<br />

perspiration. This quality<br />

is appreciated by sleepers<br />

who are sensitive to heat<br />

as it enables them to have<br />

a full night’s sleep.


At ELITE we select only the highest quality horse-hair: it is purchased from a Swiss<br />

producer who has been in this specialist fi eld for six generations and has worked<br />

with <strong>Elite</strong> for fi ve.<br />

In our daily task of assembling the best natural materials, experience has<br />

taught us to use horse-hair which has a long life quality – exactly the characteristic<br />

of an ELITE mattress.<br />

100% natural latex<br />

100% natural latex is a raw vegetal material harvested in Asia from rubber trees.<br />

Rubber tree forests prevent soil erosion, produce wood for the wood industry<br />

and provide heating material, thus creating employment. From its far-away Asiatic<br />

origins, it is exported to Europe in the ballast tanks of huge cargo ships. A means<br />

of transport which does not call for the use of additional energy!<br />

Another fact which pleads for latex’s already excellent eco-energy reputation<br />

is reported in “Rubber Developments”, the English specialist magazine. To produce<br />

one ton of latex SBR (Butadiene Styrene Rubber) 130 gigajoules of energy<br />

are necessary which is the equivalent of approximately 10000 litres of petrol!<br />

To produce one ton of natural rubber only 13 gigajoules are necessary: 5 for each<br />

tree’s fertiliser, 3 for production and 5 for transport; in other words…10 times less<br />

energy.<br />

The great quality of 100% natural latex<br />

At ELITE the natural latex mattresses, veritable gifts of nature, are 100%<br />

guaranteed synthetic rubber-free. It should be repeated over and over again:<br />

only the very best natural materials are used for our mattresses. It is therefore<br />

not surprising that the latex core ( made from Hevea Brasilensis rubber milk) offers<br />

an incomparable elasticity to all products carrying our signature.<br />

What is “100% natural latex”?<br />

It should be stated that there are no specifi c norms as to what constitutes “natural<br />

latex”. In fact, many mattresses on the market with a “natural latex” label contain<br />

between 15 and 30% synthetically-produced latex.<br />

A tried, tested and certifi ed quality<br />

At <strong>Elite</strong>, there is no question of using petrol-derived rubber (SBR). We aim<br />

for quality, comfort and for all that is natural.<br />

ELITE 100% natural latex products are permanently subjected to independent<br />

and reputed laboratory quality-control testing. All the various qualities mentioned<br />

in our brochures are certifi ed to QUL norms (“Qlatex” – Ecology latex mattress<br />

quality control) as well as to Öko-Tex Standard 100 norms!<br />

Cotton<br />

Cotton is a vegetal fi bre which surrounds<br />

the cotton grains. It is the most<br />

important natural fi bre produced in the<br />

world and most certainly the best<br />

adapted to the human skin.<br />

It is therefore natural that this fi bre is<br />

used in the creation of an ELITE mattress.<br />

The 100% natural cotton which we use<br />

offers excellent ventilation properties; your mattress “breathes” and thus feels<br />

fresh.<br />

Besides this, cotton’s hygroscopic properties allows it to absorb perspiration easily<br />

– of cardinal importance for a mattress padding.<br />

Experience has also taught us that used in thick layers its elastic characteristics<br />

allow for a feeling of comfort and softness. The mattress becomes not simply<br />

“bedding” but a comfortable nest.<br />

sea and feel<br />

active<br />

SeaCell ® fi bre offers a number of algae-linked properties. It favours skin care by liberating<br />

vitamin E and mineral salts, calcium and magnesium and possesses anti-irritation<br />

and scar-healing characteristics. Lyocell also possesses “breathing” qualities and is soft<br />

to the touch.<br />

SeaCell ® Active is a Lyocell fi bre which is combined with algae fi bres and silver. The amino<br />

acids and mineral salts present in the algae are liberated by the body’s light humidity thus<br />

having a equilibrating effect on the body. The mineral salts in the SeaCell® algae aid<br />

in the mineralisation of the skin while silver has anti-bacterial properties.<br />

Permanently bacteriostatic, SeaCell ® fi bre allows for a refreshing night’s sleep.<br />

Ingeo is a 100% environmentally friendly natural material which derives<br />

from the process of the transformation of maize. It occasions decreased CO2 production, is bio-degradable and has renewable constituents.<br />

Ingeo marries a natural material with the advantages of the synthetic.<br />

As it is hypoallergenic, it offers considerable resistance to impacts and has good<br />

stability. It also absorbs body humidity and regulates its temperature.<br />

It also possesses natural anti-acaroids properties.<br />

Coconut<br />

For centuries the coconut has been one of the world’s main cultures. It is a palm tree<br />

with a crowning sheaf of leaves and produces the coconut which within its very<br />

tough shell contains coconut milk.<br />

This tropical tree also gives us the coconut fi bres surrounding the hard shell.<br />

In India and Sri Lanka the coconut is harvested not only for the milk inside but also<br />

for the outer fi bres. These are soaked, beaten, combed, carded, spun and sun-dried<br />

thus resulting in the mattress fi bre which has been used for over a century<br />

as mattress padding.<br />

Used as the primary layer of padding,<br />

coconut fi bre covers the core<br />

of the mattress. Its great resistance<br />

guarantees stability and acts as a perfect<br />

base for the various other layers. Woven<br />

to provide for excellent long-term<br />

homogeneity it has good air permeability<br />

qualities and gives the fi nished product<br />

very good elasticity.<br />

It is worth noting that coconut fi bre<br />

is a 100% natural and renewable organic<br />

material.


Sisal<br />

Sisal (agave) is a plant which originates from Mexico and whose leaves give us the sisal fi bre.<br />

As with the coconut fi bre, sisal is used as a primary layer in mattress padding. It surrounds<br />

the mattress core and is highly resistant, providing great stability and acting as an excellent base<br />

for the various mattress layers. The sisal nappe is compact and homogeny and guarantees good air<br />

permeability and excellent elasticity.<br />

Sisal is a 100% natural and renewable organic material.<br />

THE ADVANCED FIBER<br />

Lyocell is a 100% cellulose fi bre manufactured via a process which respects the environment.<br />

As it comes from a mixture of wood pulp, Lyocell satisfi es the strict conditions those ELITE demands<br />

of its products.<br />

This bio-degradable fi bre possesses excellent properties: it is highly resistant, has a high degree<br />

of absorption and is very supple. It is silky and soft to the touch.<br />

Lenpur is made from the pulp of the Canadian white pine tree<br />

and is highly ecological as it originates not from felling whole trees<br />

but from lopping branches. This process excludes all deforestation –<br />

an important point emphasized by the manufacturers. Besides being<br />

a 100% natural product with anti-odour properties, it is also very soft<br />

to the touch, is absorbant and yet releases humidity.<br />

The dynamic comfort of a BONNELL spring mattress core speaks for ELITE’s generations-long savoir-faire.<br />

This tried and tested technique has contributed to the reputation of some of the best 5-star hotels.<br />

Hand assembled by craftsman, as all ELITE mattresses, this “prelude” to a good night’s sleep is composed<br />

of fi ve comfort zones which support the back while at the same time taking into account the shoulder<br />

and pelvis pressure zones.<br />

The skilful arrangement of the surface is supported by a fi bre padding which is 100% natural and set<br />

in layers to guarantee a welcoming softness.<br />

Thanks to an innovative coil spring technique, the BONNELL LFK spring core offers dynamic comfort.<br />

The high density of the materials enables a progressive compression thus affording soft body-surface<br />

contact.<br />

The fi ve comfort zones of the mattress’s surface offer a perfect distribution of body-surface contact<br />

points, whether you sleep on your back or on your side.<br />

Besides these qualities, our craftsmen have added a supplementary note – a different surface<br />

for the different seasons. The cashmere and wool winter surface is warm and soft while the Tussah silk<br />

summer surface provides the freshness required of the season.<br />

For the fi rst model in the pocketed-springs range, the craftsman has chosen demanding criteria:<br />

326 springs per square metre.<br />

In an agreeable marriage of softness and resistance, progressive compression “softouch” technology<br />

favourises an initially soft body contact while keeping the mattress core fi rm. This guarantees progressive<br />

anatomical adaptation and “motion separation” ensuring virtually no partner disturbance during sleep.<br />

This technique, mastered long ago, reaches what may be called artistic levels; a mattress which<br />

is considerably different, with fi ve surface-body contact zones which maintain the spinal column<br />

and limit the pressure on the neck, shoulder and pelvis region.<br />

With the CRESCENDO the harmony of sleep derives from virgin sheep’s wool, cotton and Tussah silk.<br />

An excellent ergonomical distribution of comfort zones is associated in this model with progressive<br />

compression “softtouch” technology. This technique provides for an initially soft body contact while<br />

maintaining a fi rm core and above all, progressive anatomical adaptation. It offers “motion<br />

separation” ensuring virtually no partner disturbance during sleep. ARPEGE is primarily made<br />

for those people who sleep on their stomachs.<br />

For the padding our craftsmen have chosen a 30 mm layer of 100% natural latex and two-season<br />

padding; for the winter surface, the softness and warmth of cashmere and for the summer surface,<br />

the freshness of Tussah silk.

This exceptional mattress boasts at its core, 613 micro-springs. Here, the increased number of springs<br />

provides for optimal back support and unequalled comfort. It is more than true that a real craftsman<br />

is able to provide spinal support for both sleeping positions – on the back and on the side. This bedding<br />

technique eases the shoulder, neck, pelvis and leg pressure zones thus providing more effi cient blood<br />

circulation. Another characteristic which should be mentioned is “motion separation” which ensures<br />

virtually no partner disturbance during sleep.<br />

Such a “piece of furniture” calls for 100% natural padding of pure horse tail hair, lambswool, Tussah silk<br />

and active SeaCell fi bres. All these elements provide the body with excellent heat regulation resulting<br />

in comfort for the most demanding of sleepers.<br />

The core of this model is composed of 1065 micro-springs per m 2 . This impressive number of micro-springs guarantees great<br />

fl exibility and affords excellent anatomical adaptation for the most demanding of body types. This very high level of mattress<br />

technology offers soft body-mattress contact and total back support in all sleeping positions.<br />

Here, the fi ve comfort zones are perfectly distributed to cope with the sensitive pressure points : the shoulders, neck, pelvis<br />

and legs, thus aiding correct blood circulation and the resulting cellular regeneration. A model of this quality naturally offers<br />

“motion separation” ensuring virtually no partner disturbance during sleep.<br />

For this piece of “quality furniture” a thick layer of specially selected, woven white horse tail hair is used in combination with<br />

a 100% natural padding: Tussah silk, lambswool and active SeaCell fi bres for the summer surface of the mattress and cashmere,<br />

cotton and pure virgin sheep’s wool for the winter surface. Entirely hand-stitched, the interior quilting provides for cohesion<br />
